J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fathom London
Entretien
Was contacted directly via Linkedin by an internal recuiter.
Asked to send across two examples of recent react code that I had written.
First stage was an hour long phone/hangout interview which lasted around 45mins. This was more of a cultural fit type interview than a technical one. Went really well and feedback was positive.
Invited for second interview which was a technical face to face interview with head of technology and a lead developer. Was asked lots of technical questions relating to my past experience and knowledge of the react/redux. Again this went very well and feedback was positive.
Was asked to complete a code test to assess the way I approach a given problem.
Completed the test which met all the requirements fully.
To my amazement I received an email saying the test did not meet their expectations for the role and rate. The feedback I received consisted of subjective opinions such as "Not keen on abbreviated variable names" and included things which were not asked for on the test such as including a css reset.
I emailed back asking for clarification and offered to provide further examples of code I had written to show my capability and offered to renegotiate on rate.
Didn't receive an email back. Very unprofessional especially considering I had spent so much of my time attending both interviews(half a day) and completing the test(half a day).
My advice would be to ask the candidate to complete the test before or after the phone interview before proceeding.
